Two investors signal interest in hotels at CJIA

With over 30 Expressions of Interest received on Monday by the Ministry of Tourism for the establishment of hotels here, at least two are for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday said.

“Just a few days ago the expressions of interest and requests for proposals for the building of hotels in Guyana closed. The intent is that we should have at least 2000 first class rooms so that Guyana could become a convention destination,” Edghill yesterday told a meeting where the Board of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) was installed.

“My office has received two proposals that were submitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, where two of those persons have expressed interest in building hotels at the CJIA,” he added.
